The 5 Best Restaurants in Santo Domingo | Where to Eat in Santo Domingo
The 5 best restaurants we found in Santo Domingo. Here's your ultimate guide on where to eat in Santo Domingo. It's no secret that I'm a big-time foodie; I love eating around the world. On this solo trip I took to Santo Domingo (the capital of the Dominican Republic,) I made sure to add a handful of restaurants to explore in La Zona Colonial and Santo Domingo in general. Exploring the culinary scene was missing from our last trip to Santo Domingo due to covid restrictions, so this time I made sure to indulge in the best fine dining Santo Domingo has to offer!

About WHERE TO NAU
===============================
Where to Nau began as a blog where I could document my travels and adventures with the world. Having a love for photography, traveling, writing, and scrapbooking, blogging became my new millennial way of expression. I'm always on the hunt to find unique and secluded places around the world. Join me!
On my website, you'll find complete itineraries, recommendations of the best places to eat (from street food to upscale dining), and exclusive hotel reviews of locations I think are worth checking out. I also have a lifestyle/ wellness section for self-care and self-improvement.
A background in modeling and acting has led to working with brands as a lifestyle model and content creator for social media, print, and publication. If you're a brand reading this, Let's work together!
Leave a comment with any future video ideas you'd like to see about NYC, and if you've visited before, let me know what you like and dislike about the city that never sleeps. I'm personally obsessed with my city, NYC!
About NAUREEN CHHIPA
===============================
I was born in the Dominican Republic, raised in Miami with roots that go all the way across the globe to Pakistan (that's where my wanderlust nature comes from.) I travel the world part-time while juggling my passion for acting in NYC, my home. I also work as a lifestyle/print model, freelance travel writer, and social media content creator/brand ambassador. When I'm not acting or traveling, you can find me blogging and sharing secrets of my travel adventures, so stay tuned! You can also follow my live stories on IG @wheretonau
I believe in balance, so I travel frugal yet splurge for a day or two. I believe in embracing different cultures and learning from them; that's how I personally grow as an actor. I believe in finding your tribe, so I'm constantly adapting to change, growing, and evolving. Being multiracial, bilingual, traveling the world, and living in the melting pot that NYC is, my goal is to inspire women minorities everywhere to never settle and always follow their dreams.

Yes! Eating inside a cave in the city was a neat experience :)
The service fee is the tip! We only tip more if we particularly like the service. Dominican servers don’t depend on tips for their livelihood. Good if you tip over it, but no need to. Source: I’m Dominican, the 18% tip charge policy is also in the Dominican code of labor.

I’m Dominican too and have family there. The restaurant stays with the service fee, it’s not passed down to the servers. I asked a handful of them at several restaurants on different trips I’ve made.

@@WheretoNau Then that should be dealt with between the restaurant and the employers, or soon the DR will be like the US, that servers don’t have a real salary and depend 100% on tips, which makes tips outrageous. Servers still get their full salary in the DR. Let’s try to keep our country the way it is; tourists can pay large tips, but not all locals can. That’s how inflation happens.

In your opinion, what is the top 3 romantic restaurants in Santo Domingo, to impress a woman?

Take her to Maraca for sure! It's trendy, with great cocktails and inventive cuisine. If you're looking for somewhere romantic, then I would choose El Meson de la Cava. El Meson is intimate in an underground cave setting with a candlelight-lit dinner.

@@vlogaftervlogtv7660 I’m not sure; you might have to google a florist in the area. El Meson de la Cava is not located near shops, but Maraca is right in the heart of La Zona Colonial, so it might be easier to find a street vendor there. Good Luck!! And after you dine there, let me know how it went and if she liked the spot :)

The bad part is that it doesn’t go to the waiters yet most tourists think it’s a tip to your server.
